“Sometimes people need stories more than food to stay alive,” said Barry Lopez
Fortunately Chantana does both; she tells compelling stories and provides delicious food.
With wit, friendliness, and charm Chantana provided a memorable night of savory flavors, revealed secrets, and beguiling stories. She is enthusiastic and hardworking. I was most touched by her kindness and care.
I lead and supervise such tours for the National Park Service in the United States and rate Chantana highly for the quality and substance she provides.

A fabulous experience - ten different samplings, each at a different vendor. Different cuisines, different styles, different preparations. Vendors from restaurants to street food carts. Jan is an excellent guide - I highly recommend trying to reserve her services. She is organized, knowledgeable, adaptable to changes in circumstances and very professional. She led us through Chinatown streets, back alleys, even kitchens. She organized having us watch the chef’s preparation of a papaya salad and assist in tasting it to ensure the right flavor. She knew all the vendors and was able to get us in and seated even if the establishment was packed. She added a couple temple visits along the way, including teaching us how to make a lotus flower offering. The food we tried was surprising and delicious: satays, dumplings, traditional dishes like pigs knuckles (very delicious) or noodle soup, sweets like Chinese donuts, and even a popular local beer called Leo. With ten samplings, you need to pace yourself on how much you eat, but it’s difficult when the food is so good. There is a lot of walking involved in getting from place to place, but it is all flat. With all this, the whole tour can take three hours or more, depending on how long you wish to linger at each stop. There is a lot of ducking through back alleys, and Jan led us confidently throughout. She even helped negotiate our taxi ride back to the hotel at the end. It’s a great way to experience a living, bustling city at street level without any worry about food issues. Jan had vetted every vendor and venue, so in addition to the overall deliciousness, none of our party of six had any food issues at all. An amazing experience!

This was a great experience! Jan was a wonderful guide. There were 10 stops on the tour so it was a lot of food— come hungry! This tour gave me a chance to go to parts of the city I usually wouldn’t have and to try food I wouldn’t know how to find. Book it, you will be happy you did!

I'm thrilled to hear that you had a great experience on the tour with Jan as your guide! It sounds like she did an excellent job of taking you on a culinary journey through various parts of the city and introducing you to a wide array of delicious food.
With 10 stops on the tour, it's no wonder that it was a lot of food! Coming hungry was definitely a good idea to fully enjoy the culinary delights that were offered. Food tours provide a fantastic opportunity to sample a diverse range of dishes and flavors, allowing you to expand your palate and try new things.
One of the wonderful aspects of food tours is the chance to explore different neighborhoods and parts of the city that you might not typically visit. It's a great way to discover hidden gems and experience the local culture through its food scene. I'm glad to hear that the tour gave you the opportunity to explore parts of the city that you wouldn't have otherwise discovered.
The fact that the tour allowed you to try food you wouldn't have known how to find on your own is another testament to the value of guided food tours. They provide insider knowledge and access to unique culinary experiences that may be off the beaten path.
Thank you for recommending the tour and sharing your positive feedback. Booking this tour and following Jan's guidance certainly paid off, and it's wonderful to hear that you were happy with your decision.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy travels and bon appétit on your future food adventures!

This tour was brilliant I couldn’t recommend it enough. Especially because of our tour guide Jan she was so knowledgable and taught/ showed us so much. The food was amazing and it was also good to visit the temple and go down the back streets of Bangkok to really see the culture of the city. You see a lot that you wouldn’t see without this tour, 10/10

Messages from my host before the tour were friendly and informative, as was all the photos and videos she took and then sent through afterwards.
Jan was very knowledgeable and a great person to spend 3 hours with.
There is so much food, so i recommend not eating at least 6 hours before the tour so that you can enjoy the extensive amount provided.
Highly recommend this tour, have attached just a few photos of some of the dishes but i forbor to get photos of the rest!

We had a great experience with the tour, thanks to Jan and Mona for being very knowledgeable on the food and very attentive to the guests. The tour includes small stalls that might not be not too known to the public. We recommend this tour to everyone who wants to explore food especially in China Town.

I'm glad to hear that you had a great experience on the tour with Jan and Mona! It's wonderful when tour guides are knowledgeable about the food and attentive to the guests, as it enhances the overall experience and ensures that you have a memorable time.
Exploring small stalls and hidden gems is one of the highlights of a food tour. It allows you to discover local culinary treasures that may not be well-known to the public. These off-the-beaten-path spots often offer authentic and delicious food that truly captures the essence of the destination.
China Town is renowned for its vibrant food scene, and it's fantastic that the tour provided you with an opportunity to explore the culinary delights of this area. With Jan and Mona's expertise, you were able to fully immerse yourself in the flavors and traditions of the local cuisine.
Thank you for recommending the tour to everyone who wants to explore food, especially in China Town. Your positive feedback and endorsement will surely inspire others to embark on this culinary adventure and discover the hidden culinary gems of the area.
Once again, I'm glad to hear that you had a great experience, and I hope you have many more enjoyable food explorations in the future!

We are glad we did the tour because it gave us a great overview of the different dishes in Bangkok. Everything was really delicious. Our tour guide Syl also gave us some background information about the dishes and a bit of information about the spots. Even if a stop was closed or too full, Syl always had an alternative. We felt very comfortable the whole in her presence.
